The following list contains the names of persons seeking for registration to practice before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Final approval for registration is subject to establishing to the satisfaction of the Director of the Office of Enrollment and Discipline that the person seeking registration is of good moral character and repute. 37 CFR § 11.7 Accordingly, any information tending to affect the eligibility of any of the following persons on moral ethical or other grounds should be furnished to the Director of Enrollment and Discipline on or before June 23, 2012 at the following address: Mail Stop OED United States Patent and Trademark Office P.O. Box 1450 Alexandria VA 22314.

And if you go to the USPTO Web site database of all registered practitioners, and search for people’s names on that early 2012 list, you find that pretty much all of them had since become registered. But Bryan Doreian is *not* in the database. So either someone informed the OED of his lack of “good moral character and repute”, or he disclosed himself to the OED that he is a convicted scientific fraudster (which he would have been obligated to do by the rules governing the application for registration, not that he has proven himself a follower of ethical rules).

So, the final conclusion is that Bryan Doreian *did* pass the USPTO patent bar exam in early 2012. One surmises that the reason he doesn’t tout this on his bar review course Web site is that he didn’t want people looking into the situation, and discovering that he passed the exam but never was successful at becoming registered.

Readers can look within their conscience and decide whether the think it makes sense to absolutely ensure that Bryan Doreian does not slip through the cracks and somehow get registered by mailing a letter to the OED at the following address–Mail Stop OED United States Patent and Trademark Office P.O. Box 1450 Alexandria VA 22314–informing them of his conviction for scientific misconduct involving fabrication of data.

Since this particular kind of failure of good moral character and repute strikes at the very heart of the ethical and legal regime that governs practice before the USPTO as a patent agent/attorney, it seems pretty clear to me that Bryan Doreian should never be permitted to represent inventors before the USPTO.

Haha yeah, we can’t have this shyster running around defiling the US patent law system! LOfuckenL. You do realize that ethics (or even simple common sense and decency) have no place whatsofuckingever in 21st century United States patent law, right? The dude is probably quite well qualified for working in that arena come to think of it…
